So a few weeks ago I removed my cluster from my 1990 325I in an attempt to repair my fuel gauge and my temp gauge. The first fix I did I managed to fix the fuel gauge, speedo still worked, but the temp gauge still didn’t work. So this time I dissembled it further to take the temp gauge out to...

Hi, helpful folks. The speedometer and odometer are out on my 1985 535i. As a starting point, I want to replace the sender. The info I've found online and in Bentley is confusing: some say the sender is in the differential, and others refer to the "speed sensor" in the transmission housing...

Hi everyone. Starting to bang my head against the wall... harder than usual. About a month ago I went to drive my 1987 325. I don't drive it all that often, maybe 5k miles a year or so. It has 80,xxx miles. As I was driving I noticed the speedo, odometer and econometer were not working. The...

Hey there, I have an obvious instrument cluster problem. I have an e36 1996 318i. My speedometer, odometer, temperature, fuel, and mpg gauges are not working at all. They're all at zero, car running or not. They were working fine until I did some work in the door. Here's the sequence of events...

2000 z3 2.3 went to check to see if the tamper light was on for the odometer (it wasn't) and came across the clock light and 3/4 full guage. when I turned the car on, the lights went off... what does that mean? Does something need to be changed and how do I reset it afterward?

Hey board, My odometer and trip meter stopped counting correctly; they're counting slowly. Relatedly, I think, a few days ago, the speedo went out. I know the speedo is a wheel sensor gone bad. Is the odometer situation related? Is it the same sensor (R/R)? Should I just replace all four...

My 2001 Z3 Roadster's tach had been very flaky, but not trusting my own skills taking apart delicate instruments, I purchased for $90 a used cluster on Craigslist, had it installed into my Z3, then sent off my original cluster to BimmerOnly in California. The temporary cluster worked perfectly...

I recently replaced my odometer gears this morning and reinstalled the instrumental panel in the same manner that I took it out. I took it for a test drive hoping to see the small rise in miles, but there was no change! I thought that I may have damaged the motor in the process of removing the...
